Autism Spectrum Disorder Assessment

Below are the most commonly used diagnostic assessments for ASD. If you require an assessment not listed below, please contact us as our psychologists are trained in a wide range of diagnostic assessments. ​​​

ADOS-2: The Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule-Second Edition is an activity-based assessment administered by trained clinicians to evaluate communication skills, social interaction, and imaginative use of materials in individuals who are suspected to have Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The ADOS-2 was developed to provide an opportunity to observe symptoms and behaviours associated with ASD in a consistent manner across different clients, clinicians, and locations. The ADOS-2 is currently considered the “gold standard” in the assessment of ASD.

​

ADI-R: The Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised is a structured interview used for diagnosing autism, planning treatment, and distinguishing autism from other developmental disorders. Used in research for decades, this comprehensive interview provides a thorough assessment of individuals suspected of having autism or other autism spectrum disorders. The ADI-R has proven highly useful for formal diagnosis as well as treatment and educational planning.

​

WISC-V: The Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children – Fifth Edition is an individually administered and comprehensive clinical instrument used to assess the general thinking and reasoning skills of children aged 6 - 16 years. Test results include a Full-Scale Intelligence Quotient (IQ) score, as well as age-equivalent rankings and scores for verbal comprehension, visual spatial, fluid reasoning, working memory and processing speed composites.
